JIT is ideally suited for customers with a stable forecast but changing demands. Based on a rolling forecast, the JIT shipment is triggered directly by the customer‘s manufacturing.

Provides you with optimal security, increased flexibility, reduced backlog exposure, and ultimately, lower working capital.

Optimised inventory profiling (ABC classification) and forecasting (via EDI), reduces your inventory exposure and order transaction cost.

Ideal where the customer has stable forecast and demands, and is focused on the benefits of lean inventory. Utilising a two-bin system and an automatic call-off process, Kanban reduces inventory exposure, order administration and production risks.
